The case may have gone ice-cold, but the connection between a veteran detective and a rookie agent was burning hot!
Cameron Hughes never thought he'd meet his match in a determined--but inexperienced--undercover agent with a heart of gold. Somehow, though, Lily Christides had got under the detective's incredibly thick skin and wouldn't let go. Now, as they worked 24/7 on two unsolved cases, Cam was finding it increasingly difficult to resist taking her to bed and driving her to the point of no return. Then an elusive killer made it known Lily was next on his list, and Cam's passion turned to protection. Cam knew being her personal bodyguard was the best chance they had at containing the threats to her life. But what force was strong enough to contain their barely controlled attraction?
After a career spent spinning words for clients ranging from corporate CEOs to talking fruits and vegetables, Kathleen now finds great joy creating a world of fictional characters, places and plots. After tucking away her writing goals until her first daughter taught her that life is short and dreams are for chasing, Kathleen is now the award-winning author of breathtaking romantic suspense for the Harlequin Intrigue line and romantic comedy for Kensington Publishing.
A RIO Award of Excellence winner and nominee for National Readers' Choice, Booksellers' Best and Holt Medallion awards, her greatest reward can be found in the letters and e-mails she receives from her readers. Nothing makes her happier than knowing one of her stories has provided a few hours of escape and enjoyment, offering a chance to forget about life for a little while.
Along with her husband, infant daughter and one very neurotic Sheltie, Kathleen divides her time between suburban Philadelphia and the New Jersey seashore, where she can often be found with hands on keyboard—bare toes in sand—weaving tales. After all, life doesn't get much better than that.
